The spring collet is very suitable for work pieces less than 3 inches in diameter. The spring chuck limits the length of the workpiece. In particular, the spring chuck limits the axial (Z-axis) travel range of the machine tool, because its length is longer than the chuck. When the machining length of the workpiece almost needs the whole available travel of the machine tool, the chuck with claw may be used.
5. Processing batch size
Spring chucks are suitable for large and small batch machining tasks. In the case of small batch and multi task machining, the advantages of spring chuck are related to the product conversion time, and the replacement time of standard chuck is about 15-20 minutes. The jaw chuck for quick change only takes 1 minute, while the chuck for quick change of spring chuck only takes 15 to 20 seconds. When the products are changed frequently, the total time saved is considerable.
When the processing batch is large, the saving time related to clamping can be accumulated in the same way. The opening and closing time of spring chuck is less than that of claw chuck. By reducing the non cutting time from one workpiece to the next, the processing cycle time is reduced.
6. Workpiece size range
Part of the reason for the faster opening and closing of the spring collet is that it has a shorter drive stroke, and the size range of the workpiece applied by the spring collet is more limited than that of the collet.
In fact, the speed of the collet is elastic. If the size of the workpiece is the same, the speed of the spring collet will be faster. If the size of workpiece changes greatly, it may be necessary to use claw chuck to adapt to the processing of various sizes of workpiece.
7. Material type
For hot rolled steel, forgings, and molded parts, standard jaw chucks tend to work better because all of these parts have inherent diameter variations. On the other hand, some cold rolled materials usually have better dimensional consistency. Therefore, it is suitable to select the spring collet. However, the lack of a consistent diameter measurement does not necessarily hinder the use of the spring chuck, which can be set as a chuck with non-circular cross-section to keep the molding rod in the shape expected by the customer.
8. Secondary spindle
The milling CNC lathe equipped with secondary spindle bearing is often used for a variety of mass production and processing. In this application, the elastic collet can save more production and processing time. They can process all parts in a working cycle system. This kind of CNC lathe is often combined with bar feeder to realize unattended production and continuous processing of workpieces. In these applications, the chuck driving time saved may be very small for workpieces, but in the whole production process, the time saved for each workpiece is multiplied by the number of workpieces processed, and the accumulated time saved is considerable.
9. Chuck tool library
It is also important to consider the third option when choosing a suitable workpiece clamping device between the jaw chuck and the spring chuck. If permitted, it may be a cost-effective option to retain two types of fixtures, from one to the other.
From jaw chuck to spring collet, or vice versa, usually less than 20 minutes. The manual chuck can be kept on the machine tool in order to cope with the uncertainty of the range of parts. However, if the machine tool processes a large number of workpieces and several parts of the same size, the productivity of using the spring chuck will be improved, which greatly exceeds the productivity loss caused by the time required to replace the fixture.
